VANKLEEK HILL, ON – Beau’s All Natural Brewing is continuing the 2015 edition of FeBREWary – a month of beer launches and events from the brewery – with the return of this week of a popular annual installment in the Beau’s Wild Oats series.

Strong Patrick is a 6.7% abv “interpretation of an Irish Red Ale” with the following description:

Part of the batch has been aged in whiskey barrels and then reintroduced, adding subtle wood and vanilla nuances. The style is typically lightly hopped, well rounded and balanced, with a pleasant toasted malt character. Brewmaster Matthew O’Hara describes the beer as luscious and red-hued with a malty backbone, showcasing toasty and toffee notes complemented by warming alcohol & whiskey flavours.

A two-day launch event for Strong Patrick will take place at the Beau’s brewery this weekend (February 14th & 15th), with a special cask-conditioned version to be tapped on Saturday, and food pairings from Beau’s resident chef Bruce Wood.
